I'm a 21-year-old girl from North India, and I've been noticing that my skin is wheatish overall, but my inner thighs and buttocks are quite a bit darker than the rest of my body. Is this something that's normal for most Indians? If not, can you suggest any ways to lighten those areas?

I've been using hh lite cream for a couple of months and while it worked instantly, my face got darker once I stopped. My doctor recommended trying loprolif 0.1 ointment and neoskin moisturizer, but I'm only seeing a little improvement. Is this the best treatment plan, or is there something else I should consider? I'm really worried about getting my original complexion back. Would love some advice!

Continue same treatment.
